Just got a call from "Big Al" Alan Caraway informing me that Dick Moreland -"The Maestro" - passed away on August 29. For those not in the racing community, Dick was the creator of the "Class of 65" U/SA Plymouth wagon (the one Dave "Reverend MoPar" Koopman now races) and several other U/SA efforts as well. No one really knows exactly how many National Records he has had his hand in, but the "Class of 65" alone has 32 of them. Clayton Wright's Plymouth also has numerous records along with others. I would dare say that Dick has had a hand in more National Records than anyone in the category.
